I was driving out to meet you that nightGetting reports on the weatherYou were coming home, had caught the last flightBut we would soon be togetherYou'd been gone such a long timeWhen my radio gave the warning

Chorus:Chaos at the airport tonight, something ain' t rightNo-one can land in the weatherPlanes are crashing out of controlAnd all in all I think you've lost him forever

Looking up I started searching the skiesWas he still up there above meWas the man who'd waved a million goodbyesNow just a stranger who loved meBut as I drove to the terminal signI heard a great loud explosion

Chorus

I ran so, so fast but if I could only reach youBut you're so far away, you're oh so far awayLanding lights approachingOut from a sea of darknessBut you're so far away, you're oh so far away

Like a bird of death it hovered aroundUntil the wheels started turningThen I saw the jets just touching the groundAnd I could see it recurringAnd as I looked for the last timeMy radio gave the warning
